BANG!
“But, was he driving a white Bronco? Dear GOD, tell me he was driving a white Bronco!!”

If only one other student had been armed, the number of deaths would have been minimized.
A "GUN FREE ZONE" is once again responsible for the deaths of multiple people.
When are the stupid people going to learn?
Well at least Geraldo never had time to pick some guy at random on the internet and claim he was the shooter.
FoxNews is just as bad....no I take that back. FoxNews is worse then CNN et al because FoxNews should know better.
Disgusting. I wish it was that easy to buy a gun on the net. I’d have a nice MP-5 sitting in the closet!
This is interesting. I live near DeKalb and my wife works there. This morning on a local news broadcast (out of Rockford) a federal agent confirmed two of the four guns were purchased legally and picked up on February 9th. Illinois having a 5 day waiting period, that means he purchased them no later than February 4th. As to the other two pistols (one of the two guns already mentioned was a Remington 870 pump shotgun), they had no information at the time but were still investigating. Yes, Illinois requires a FOID (Firearm Owner ID) card issued by the state for any and all firearm/ammunition purchases.
In addition, the news conference brought up the gunman was on ‘medication’ although they would not speculate as to what medication, and that they had evidence he’d been off these meds for a couple weeks and was acting erratically. That couple week timeframe would coincide with the gun purchase.
The four guns were: 1) Remington 870; 2) Glock 9mm; 3) Sig Saur 9mm; 4) Other 380 semi-auto (not defined).
I don’t care-
When they come to expand my freedoms and take my guns “for the collective good,” in some bold living document interpretation of what the Constitution means, I’ll say they were stolen or lost. Screw it, maybe it’s time to move to some other place where a bunch of pole smoking, tree hugging, atheist, pinko, bedwetters, DON’T run the show.
Correct. Firearm Owner's Identification card, or FOID. The state issues these after a standard background check. You can't even handle a gun in a store or buy ammunition without one.
Of course nobody grabbed a gun and pointed it at anyone for sport. We had common sense back then.
My question is, what makes society so different that you are allowed to do this sort of thing as long as you can claim you are off your medication or crazy? There is always an excuse for this behavior. We had mentally ill people back then, but this sort of thing did not happen when guns were readily available to everyone.
The only answer can be that everyone having guns was a deterent.
To me the story is that the gunman was yet another apparent psychiatric patient that went off his meds.
I guess the GUN FREE ZONE didn’t stop him? sac/
They are discussing right now the fact that the gunman had been “off his medication” and “acting strangely” for the past two weeks. Why didn’t someone do something about it?
What I hate worst is the utter meatheaded ignorance of people like Cavuto. It is a willful ignorance. Bet that the true explanation of the dealer about 'clips' and a holster not being restricted went in one ear and out the other and Cavuto could care less.
I emailed cavuto on that subject two minutes after he said it.
I have yet to hear back from him..Not holding my breath.
So what? Guns are available.
Let’s talk about lawyers and doctors and laws that prevent people who are mentally ill from being locked up. These things happened occasionally in the thirties forties and fifities, but we locked up many people who were mi intead of relying on chemical strait jacket that they do not want to take.
I'll bet the shooter was using SSRIs
BTW, this 'link' between the NIU and VT murderers is the LEAD STORY on the Fox radio network's top-of-the-hour newscasts.

Or there is this free instructional video on how to make a gun at home:
Remember: A gun, is a gun, is a gun! Doesn't matter what size it is; if it is made of quality steel or cheap plastic, pencil lines on paper...or even a 'cocked' human hand.
To a Lib, this 
equals this 
I want to know who sold this guy his Prozac, and if they were qualified to make that kind of decision. Why didn’t he have to register his Prozac, and notify proper federal authorities when he quit taking it? Until we get antidepressant drugs under control, the kooks who don’t use them right will use guns to hurt people. It’s a travesty.
